Do you know what your fingerprint is? And all the ways you are being tracked that is not about your IP?
You do give personal info to every website you visit - with the exception of a very few, who respect your privacy. If you think you need to log in, to give personal info, then you are sadly misinformed.
But you do know that Tor/VPN is not really privacy, nor security? It hides your IP, but that's about it. If you still login, and give any information, and that could just be your "fingerprint" you are not anonymous...
They didn't just give them a discount, and it was only a very small part of Europe you are talking about. It was Munich, and MS also moved a lot of workplaces to the city, to bribe it...
Because I don't have a fickle heart, and My distro is the best, right now, for me. There's nothing more to it. I do like Mint - but a few apps are out of date, and that's annoying. But it's stable, looks great, and works like a charm.
Hard to rank them. When I was about 9 yrs old and cut of my left index finger with a leather scissor. Or when I flew over the top of a bike, down a steep road, and the asphalt took of all the skin of my right hand, and I got a wound right beneath my nose that still, 35 yrs later, looks like a booger when it's cold. Or maybe when I was climbing around big farm machines and jumped from one to the other, and I slipped, and punched a hole in my shin with a metal corner. The shin didn't break, just got a hole, and it hurt like hell...
There's plenty more. But my guess is my finger, since the doctor messed up the operation, and I had to have 3 surgeries - and it still didn't work properly after that.
Some gamers do. Like most humans they are attracted to bright, flashy patterns of colors. (most animals actually are). But most mature gamers I know, would rather put some money in better equipment, than flashy colors. So, gamers are as different as the rest of us. Some are caught by the hype, some are not. You see it in cars too. Some like bling, som focus on the actual car.
Me? I like RGB in my keyboards backlight. I don't like it to flash, but I like to make it an orange/reddish color, because that's easy on the eyes, when using your computer at evenings or nights. That's about it.
Nice try to avoid answering the question that exposes your childish argument about crypto being safer than hard cash. :-)
Oh, you told me what I have to use, and are so childlike cocky that you believe that you know the future. That's hilarious. But I guess that explains why you lack any kind of common sense here.
You truly are funny. You are duped, and claim that everyone else is... :-) Unlike you, I know how money works, and I know witch one serves me the best.
But as I said (and you seem unable to accept that), please keep up wagging your tail at crypto. You should be happy that you have it all to yourself - even when you loose it all...
PS. How many crypto scams are there? How many crypto-companies has taken everything from it's customers? Now please tell me, how many DKK-scams are there, and how many people have lost everything due to having DKK-cash?
Feel free to freak out. That doesn't worry me at all. I guess you prefer getting tracked and monetized over having a little weaker security in hypothetical problem areas...
You know, I've worked with, and helped people with issues on primarily Windows, but also Mac and Linux, since the 90s, and I can't remember one single time, where the problem were bases on this kind of vulnerability. So please, do live in a hypothetical world - I'll stick with what works and keeps me from being monetized.
That was funny... If you want to debate this, then please stop exaggerating like "a million times more"...
Thank you for handing me another reason for people never to use crypto regularly. As you say, it requires deep research to understand... My current currency requires a basic understanding, that's it. And no, I'll not be using it - you are delusional, and need help. My guess is, that you have invested a lot of money in crypto, and now you feel stupid because it is lost - and you try to get others onboard to minimize your own losses... ;-)
Only a few take their privacy serious. They, sadly, believe in the ethics of the Tech giants...
